Merhaba. Ben Hande. I am a qualified, well-spoken and native Turkish teacher and a former pharmacist from İstanbul. I was born and raised in İstanbul. I have been speaking with a standart Istanbul accent for more than 40 years.
I have been teaching since 2017. I taught both at universities in a classroom enviroment and private online lessons. I always loved teaching and learning.

Me as a Teacher
My job is to help you speak cleary and confidently. My goal is to teach you Turkish systematically and quickly, as much as possible. I have developed my own materials for the basics of Turkish to achieve this. You will be learning common vocabulary and useful phrases with me. And also you will be mastering at speaking, listening, reading, writing, pronunciation and essential grammar.
In my classes, I mainly use a mixture of interactive and communicative approaches. But sometimes I adjust my teaching methods depending on the level of my students. Right after each lesson I send all the lesson notes and some assignments.
My lessons & teaching style
Additionally, after each level I use graded and well- written stories for a detailed practice. So that, you can test your knowledge based on your current level.
If you have decided to work with me please book a trial lesson. So, I can assess your level and create a lesson plan for you. I am looking forward to meeting and working with you. Thank you.

For me, learning Turkish is a marathon, not a sprint, and I find Hande's organized, patient, and systematic approach extremely helpful. I am very pleased with my lessons and would absolutely recommend her to other learners.

Turkish seems so difficult, but Hande explains everything so well.

Hande is a wonderful teacher! She is always prepared with interesting and engaging material for our lessons. During our lessons, she is patient, takes time to explain grammar concepts, and answer any questions I have. I highly recommend her as a teacher!
